The worldwide decline of large-bodied marine taxa has made it difficult to draw conclusions
about the relative importance of top-down control, and the mechanisms through which it …

Recently, there has been an increasing interest in the control community in studying large-

Ecologists develop species-habitat association (SHA) models to understand where species
occur, why they are there and where else they might be. This knowledge can be used to …

Despite being widely used, habitat selection models are rarely reliable and informative
when applied across different ecosystems or over time. One possible explanation is that …

Despite the critical role that contact between hosts and vectors, through vector bites, plays in
driving vector-borne disease (VBD) transmission, transmission risk is primarily studied …
